‘The Modern Age’ is defined by Danish ice core research10 December 2008
Denmark is now the holder of the international standard reference, which precisely defines when the ice age ends and the modern age begins.
The answer lies in the ice cores from the NorthGRIP drilling in Greenland. Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have analysed these ice cores and found that there was an abrupt climate change from the ice age to the modern age. This means that the ice age did not, as believed until now, end around 11.000 years ago – no, it ended 11.711 years ago.
